Possible tweaks in book history / book list (last opened books) #306

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Your model / PRS+ version?
PRS 650 / Nightly 026

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Not real problems but weird looking issues. (In order to test, you are going 
to lose your book history).

2. I suppose you have enough Book History. Show last read book in your Book 
List. Both features should match.
3. Disable Book History.
4. Book History list is automatically emptied but Book List isn't (Why?)
5. Click on any of your "phantom" Book List books. Return to home. NOW your 
book list is empty... (Why?)
6. Enable Book History again.
7. Continue your reading. Go to Book History. It's empty!!! (Why my current 
book is not added to Book History even after resuming my reading?)
8. Open another book. Return to Home. Your book list is empty! The former book 
hasn't been added to that Book List.
9. Go to Book History. The previous book is also missing here. You only have 
your last book.

So it really seems that both Book History and Book List aren't being updated in 
every possible situation. You can make steps which are not registered or which 
do not correctly update them.

(Nevertheless a small issue).

There is no bug here. Both the book history and the book list are generally 
updated when you open a new book (reopening the current book doesn't count as 
such). Updates to the book list are kept as few as possible, since they can 
take a long time if the number of books is very large.

When you disable the book history, the book history itself is emptied (special 
circumstance), but the book list isn't (no special trigger here). When you 
continue reading and go to book history, it's still empty, as you haven't 
opened a new book yet. After opening a new book, both the book history and book 
list are updated. But since the new book is now the only book in book history, 
the book list doesn't have any books to display.

I hope this makes everything clear. Closing this issue.
